POLICE are appealing for witnesses after cash was stolen from a property in Newhaven.

Officers were called to a house in Lewes Road on Friday, May 28, after it was discovered a quantity of cash was missing from the address.

The money went missing sometime between Monday, May 24 and Friday, May 28.

It is believed the suspect left the property through a groundfloor window which opens out onto Lewes Road, and which is in view of the busy A259.

A spokesman for Sussex Police said: "Anyone who witnessed any suspicious behaviour in the area during the week, or who has any other information that may assist the investigation is asked to get in touch.

"Contact can be made online or by calling 101 quoting serial 872 of 28/05."
